May 7, 2008 Cloudy dark brown colour. Big toffee aroma with some light rye notes. Soft, sweet body with interesting figgy, rummy notes. Way sweet, but beautiful luscious malts going on and on isn’t really a bad thing in my book.

Apr 21, 2008 Bottle from Ughsmash, thanks! Almost black and opague. Restricted aroma, something like Dutch ryebread. Thick fluid with ryebread, some tartness, notes of whiskey and licorice. Somewhat alcoholic aftertaste, but a delicious beer!

Mar 13, 2008 Pours a barely transparent dark murky mahogany with a clingy-lacing froth of dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and whiskey with some mild smoke and a touch of milk chocolate. Body starts with nice malty viscosity and creamy chocolate flavor with good oaky whiskey balance and complexity. Finishes smooth and flavorful with good vanilla and dark chocolate character. A very nice barrel-aged imperial porter.
